If you started getting SSDI before May 1997, you'd usually receive your payment on the third day of every month. Note that this isn't always the case, like when the third day falls on a weekend or holiday. For 2025, this will happen in August, so you can expect to receive your payment during that month one to two days earlier.

In April 2025, the Social Security Administration announced that it would withhold 50% of the benefit payments of overpaid recipients.
